The LAND ROVER FREELANDER (1997-06) 5DR SUV 2.5 ES AUTO5 is a five-door, early-generation compact SUV, offering a taller, more commanding feel than a conventional family hatchback. In the UK used market, it sits among practical, go-anywhere family vehicles, competing with models such as the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. With five seats and an automatic gearbox, the Freelander suits families, rural drivers and buyers wanting easy, relaxed progress, though its size and age make it less suited to tight-budget commuting than a small hatchback. The ES trim gives this version a more upmarket feel, while the V6 petrol engine is best appreciated for smoothness rather than low fuel bills. mycarcheck.com recorded 132 look-ups across 67 VINs.
